Amazing Places – Sunrise Beach Cabanas, Santo.

Winner of the World Luxury Hotel Awards for two consecutives years, Sunrise Beach Cabanas is located on one of the most stunning beaches in Espiritu Santo. On the East coast, on the road to many of Santo’s most popular attractions such as Champagne Beach, Blue Holes, Port Olry and many more, the white sand beach is truly spectacular.

Consisting of only three elevated cabanas, four guest rooms and a restaurant, you can guarantee seclusion and personalized service in this lovely, private, adults-only resort.

Sheltered by the neighboring islands, the ocean is calm and teaming with colourful coral gardens and amazing marine life; dugong and turtle sightings are frequent.

Owners Michael and Clare Joslin lived in Hawaii for over 20 years where, in 1989, they conceived and developed an award-winning green building system, specially engineered for tropical climates and conditions. Over the years, they provided nearly 500 different custom-designed homes for their Hawaii clients. In 2008, after raising their family, they decided to relocate to Vanuatu to spend their semi-retirement years swimming and snorkeling, surrounded by friendly local people and the stunning gifts of nature. Eventually in need of a challenge to complete their life-style and using their previous building experience and environmental knowledge and care, they decided to expand their plans and build Sunrise Beach Cabanas.

In harmony with the landscape, they designed the small luxury beach resort hoping that guests would enjoy their heartfelt island-style hospitality and quiet privacy, amidst glorious views and lush tropical surroundings.

The resort, built using timber, merges the beauty of the tropics with the romanticism of traditional timber. One of the most remarkable features of the resort is the quality of all its finishing. From doors and windows to the tiles and porcelains used in the bathrooms, a luxury theme can be felt by the extensive use and choice of high quality finishings and the open-beam ceilings, expansive glass windows and elegant furnishings.

Besides the three elevated cabanas, the resort features a lovely 12-sided Tropical Guest House which houses the restaurant, lounge, dining terrace and four guest rooms.

Drink in the many splendors of Espiritu Santo from the comfort of your own private beach house cabana or wander into the restaurant for your delicious freshly prepared meal. Onsite personal service staffing with 24-hour free concierge services, daily housekeeping, and individual private living and dining areas are all part of this amazing little boutique resort, adding to a natural setting that is truthfully, stunning.
